Question

Get portions of data out of Excel

Hello,

I have an export from callcenter software and I want to transform it like this.

Original data is on the left and I want to become what's on the right.

 

What I tried:

Read the source Excel with columns A, B and C as attributes.

Then with a TestFilter I created "Name", "Extension" and "Contents" port but I'm not able to join them.

Any push in the right direction please? :-)

 

Thanks and stay safe!

-Jonathan

Here's an example of a couple of ways to do it with some mocked up data, using either variable setters and retrievers or adjacent attribute handling. You'd need to do a bit more tidying up of the real data but that should be fairly straightforward

@ebygomm Thank you so much! Learned a lot with the variable setters and retrievers now:-)

To be honest I'd nearly always opt for the adjacent attribute handling. Open ended transformers like the variable setters make me uneasy :-)
